Our Family Christmas Celebration

 This year was a little different.  Angela and Jason spent Christmas in Corpus Christi, Texas with Jason’s parents, so we decided to have our family Christmas celebration on Sunday, December 28th.  It was really nice because Anthony & Layla were in town, Angela and Jason were home and Sarah wasn’t working.  We started our day having breakfast together then attending Mass at St. Mary’s Church downtown.  After Church, we came home and gathered in the living room around the tree and opened presents.  Angela and Jason had more gifts than anyone, since they were out of town for Christmas eve and Christmas Day.  Anthony asked that Miguel open his gift from his siblings – wow, it’s Rock Band for the Wii!!  Miguel is ecstatic, but so is Layla, Sarah and Anthony!   Then we gathered together for a wonderful Christmas dinner served on our formal china, which the kids say I never use!  We served ginger ale marinated pork loin with caramelized sweet potatoes, homemade macaroni & cheese, salad, & bread.  Everyone enjoyed dinner, talking, laughing and reminiscing old times.  Now it’s time for Rock Band and Scrabble.  We enjoyed our day together and played well into the night.  Grandma Anita stopped by and had her Rock Band debut, see Angela’s blog for the video.  Merry Christmas everyone!
